Everyone should carry a Winter Survival Kit in their car – even if you don’t necessarily live in a place that has harsh winters. Honestly with the way the weather acts so crazy, you really never know when ‘winter’ may hit!

Be sure to have your items in an easy-to-reach place from INSIDE your vehicle – your trunk could get jammed or frozen; so if you put it in your trunk, make sure that you can access it from inside.
As far as food – of course make sure its something you can eat hot or cold, things that keep well are nuts, beef jerky, trail mix, etc.
911 tips:
- If possible, call 911 on your cell phone. Provide your location, condition of everyone in the vehicle and the problem you’re experiencing.
- Follow instructions: you may be told to stay where you are until help arrives.
- Do not hang up until you know who you have spoken with and what will happen next.
- If you must leave the vehicle, write down your name, address, phone number and destination. Place the piece of paper inside the front windshield for someone to see.
